Osteopathy is a primary care profession, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, and the effects of these conditions on patients' general health. Osteopaths seek to restore the optimal functioning of the body, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.

Your Osteopath will have read through your Case History Form in advance of your Initial Appointment. At the beginning of your session, the Osteopath will ensure they have fully understood your presenting issue and will then observe you making some simple movements to help them make a diagnosis which will be explained to you. Osteopaths are trained to examine areas of the body using a highly-developed sense of touch, known as palpation.

In cases where there is acute inflammation, severe trauma, or recent surgery, certain techniques may be adjusted to accommodate the individual's comfort levels. Osteopaths will adapt their approach based on the specific conditions presented.

The number of sessions and frequency can vary based on the child's individual needs and response to treatment. The Osteopath will discuss a personalised treatment plan with you, outlining the recommended number and frequency of sessions.
